At the age of 35 (in 2000), when thought I had everything I ever wanted, I was diagnosed with depression and prescribed anti-depressants. In an effort to understand the cause of my depression, I started seeing a professional counsellor and began reading self-help books. I also started exploring alternative therapies both inside and outside mainstream health and wellness systems.
Through trial and error, I began to discover the therapies that worked best for me were centered around healing the soul. Raised a Christian, the term “soul” always held religious connotations for me, but the more knowledge I gained, the more I learned about the nature of my soul as it exists outside of the religious context and how important it is for all 3 aspects of our being (mind, body and soul) to be in balance.
I also learned that trauma can throw the mind-body-soul connection out of balance, by causing our souls to separate (i.e. an “out of body” experience) from our minds and bodies. A disconnected soul and untreated trauma can manifest itself as generalized anxiety and/or depression and adversely impact our physical bodies, our mental health and the quality of our lives and relationships.
When I look back now, the last 24 years have been a healing journey through which I have learned about soul-based therapies and developed a set of soul-centric coping and healing strategies for overcoming traumatic life experiences such as childhood abuse, divorce and suicide of a loved one.
I’ve had such success using soul-centric healing and coping strategies that I wrote a book (published in September 2019) and became a Certified Intuitive Energy Healer (trained under Wendy De Rosa). After 34 years of working in the Information Technology industry, I am now someone who facilitates healing therapies of the soul.
One of the guiding principles of my Intuitive Healer training was that I had to heal myself, in order to have the ability to heal others. Once I graduated from the Energy Healing and Intuition Training I volunteered (as an assistant to Wendy De Rosa) and for the past 3 years I have mentored and supported 18 students through the same program. For that reason, I bring a wealth of experience in dealing with and recovering from the adverse effects that suppressed/repressed emotions can have on the soul.
My philosophy is that energy healing and other soul-centric healing techniques (e.g. Reiki), in conjunction with more mainstream therapies such as counselling, is a holistic approach to restoring the mind-body-soul connection and bringing clarity and peace of mind back into your life.
